(This is a
combined code for viewing simplicity - Items in RED
apply to high powered (HP)
rockets)

1.Materials.My model rocket will be made of lightweight materials such as paper,
wood, rubber, and plastic suitable for the power used and the performance of my
model rocket. I will not use any metal for the nose cone, body, or fins of a
model rocket.

1a.(HP)Materials.My high power rocket will be made of lightweight materials such as paper,
wood, rubber, and plastic, or the minimum amount of ductile metal suitable for
the power used and the performance of my rocket.

1b.(HP)Certification. I will fly high power rockets only when certified to
do so by Tripoli Rocketry Association, Inc., or the National Association of
Rocketry.

1c.(HP)Operating Clearances. I will fly high power rockets only in
compliance with Federal Aviation Regulations Part 101 (Section 307, 72 Statute
749, 49 United States Code 1348, "Airspace Control and
Facilities," Federal Aviation
Act of 1958) and all other federal, state, and local laws, rules, regulations,
statutes, and ordinances.

2.Motors.I will use only commercially-made, NAR/TRA-certified model rocket motors
in the manner recommended by the manufacturer. I will not alter the model rocket
motor, its parts, or its ingredients in any way.

3.Recovery.I will always use a recovery system in my model rocket that will return
it safely to the ground so it may be flown again. I will use only
flame-resistant recovery wadding if wadding is required by the design of my
model rocket.

4.Weight and Power Limits.My model rocket will weigh no more than 1,500 grams (53 ounces) at
lift-off and its rocket motors will produce no more than 320 Newton-seconds
(71.9 pound-seconds) of total impulse. My model rocket will weigh no more than
the motor manufacturers recommended maximum lift-off weight for the motors used,
or I will use motors recommended by the manufacturer for my model rocket.

4a.(HP) Weight and Power Limits.My rocket will weigh no more than the motor manufacturer's recommended
maximum liftoff weight for the motors used, or I will use motors recommended by
the manufacturer of the rocket kit.My high power rocket will be propelled by rocket motors that produce no
more than 40,960 Newton-seconds (9,204 pound-seconds) of total impulse.

5.Stability.I will check the stability of my model rocket before its first flight,
except when launching a model rocket of already proven stability.

6.Payloads.My model rocket will never carry live animals (except insects) or a
payload that is intended to be flammable, explosive, or harmful.

7.Launch Site.I will launch my model rocket outdoors in a cleared area, free of tall
trees, power lines, buildings, and dry brush and grass.My launch area will be at least as large as that recommended in the
accompanying table.

7a.(HP) Launch
Site.I will launch my high power rocket outdoors in a cleared area, free of
tall trees, power lines, buildings, and dry brush and grass. My launcher will be
located at least 1,500 feet from any occupied building. My launch site will have
minimum dimensions at least as great as those in the Launch Site Dimension
Table. As an alternative, the site's minimum dimension will be one-half the
maximum altitude of any rocket being flown, or 1,500 feet, whichever is greater.My launcher will be no closer to the edge of the launch site than
one-half of the minimum required launch site dimension.

8.Launcher.I will launch my model rocket from a stable launch device that provides
rigid guidance until the model rocket has reached a speed adequate to ensure a
safe flight path. To prevent accidental eye injury, I will always place the
launcher so the end of the rod is above eye level or I will cap the end of the
rod when approaching it. I will cap or disassemble my launch rod when not in use
and I will never store it in an upright position. My launcher will have a jet
deflector device to prevent the motor exhaust from hitting the ground directly.
I will always clear the area around my launch device of brown grass, dry weeds,
or other easy-to-burn materials.

9.Ignition System.The system I use to launch my model rocket will be remotely controlled
and electrically operated. It will contain a launching switch that will return
to "off" when released.The
system will contain a removable safety interlock in series with the launch
switch. All persons will remain at least 15 feet from the model rocket when I am
igniting model rocket motors totaling 30 Newton-seconds or less of total impulse
and at least 20 feet from the model rocket when I am igniting model rocket
motors totaling more than 30 Newton-seconds of total impulse. I will use only
electrical igniters recommended by the motor manufacturer that will ignite model
rocket motors within one second of actuation of the launching switch.

9a.(HP)Ignition System.The system I use to launch my high power rocket will be remotely
controlled and electrically operated. It will contain a launching switch that
will return to "off" when released. The system will contain a
removable safety interlock in series with the launch switch. All persons will
remain at a distance from the high power rocket and launcher as determined by
the total impulse of the installed rocket motor(s) according to the accompanying
Safe Distance Table.

10.Launch Safety.I will ensure that people in the launch area are aware of the pending
model rocket launch and can see the model rocket's lift-off before I begin my
audible five-second countdown. I will not launch my model rocket so its flight
path will carry it against a target. If my model rocket suffers a misfire, I
will not allow anyone to approach it or the launcher until I have made certain
that the safety interlock has been removed or that the battery has been
disconnected from the ignition system. I will wait one minute after a misfire
before allowing anyone to approach the launcher.

11.(HP) Flying Conditions.I will launch my high power rocket only when the wind is no more than 20
miles per hour and under conditions where the rocket will not fly into clouds or
when a flight might be hazardous to people, property, or flying aircraft. Prior
to launch, I will verify that no aircraft appear to have flight paths over the
launch site.

12.(HP) Pre-Launch Test.When conducting research activities with unproven designs or methods I
will, when possible, determine the reliability of my high power rocket by
pre-launch tests. I will conduct the launching of an unproven design in complete
isolation from persons not participating in the actual launching.

13.Launch Angle.My launch device will be pointed within 30 degrees of vertical. I will
never use model rocket motors to propel any device horizontally.

13a.(HP) Launch Angle.I will not launch my high power rocket so its flight path will carry it
against a target. My launch device will be pointed within 20 degrees of
vertical. I will never use rocket motors to propel any device horizontally.

14.Recovery Hazards.If a model rocket becomes entangled in a power line or other dangerous
place, I will not attempt to retrieve it.

14a.(HP) Recovery Hazards.If a high power rocket becomes entangled in a power line or other
dangerous place, I will not attempt to retrieve it. I will not attempt to catch
my high-power rocket as it approaches the ground.
